Asked by Wiki User

Rome is an inland city. It is about 30 kilometres to the nearest beach at Lido di Ostia which you can travel to by train from Rome. It takes about thirty minutes.

In the summer months, however, the City of Rome builds a city beach in the centre of Rome itself. See related links for a page of information about Rome's beach.

What contribution did ancient rome and Greece make to modern society?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

"The story of the world, is the story of Rome." Said Napoleon Bonaparte. There are dozens if not hundreds of things the ancient Romans have contributed to the modern world. Latin as a language is the foundation for Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian. They created the first true concrete. They perfected the arch and dome in architecture. The Circus Maximus and Colosseum are still copied for just about every stadium in the world. The words czar and kaiser are both derived from Caesar. Their quality of life would still be considered better then most modern 3rd world countries because of their advances in sanitation and aqueducts. They could be credited with the art of city planning. They built the same city in hundreds of different newly conquered territories. Roman roads changed how the world traveled and their basic design is still copied today. In the 4th century C.E. they made Christianity the official religion of the empire spreading it throughout the world. Some of their generals military tactics are still studied today at West Point and other academies. Just about anything in the modern western world could be traced back to ancient Rome.

How was rome established?

Asked by Wiki User

You could say it was Romulus and Remus and their kin who founded Rome, or you could say it was refugees from Troy under Aeneas who founded Rome. But the reality of the matter is that Rome was more than likely founded by a group of Latin farmers and tradesmen who banded together for mutual protection.

The religion of Rome (prior to Christianity) was adopted from the Greeks, and it is what we would today refer to as Greek (or Greco-Roman) mythology. At the time it did not have any particular name, it was just considered to be a description of how the world was.

How is Ancient Rome different from today?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The largest difference between the pastimes of ancient Rome and today were the gladiator fights that took place in Rome and in other parts of the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire. The pastime of watching trained slaves battle each other to the death was a common pastime in Rome and these games were first introduced by the Etruscans. People of today could not and would not let such a pastime exist in the modern day world.
